Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Chapter 887 Cards and Van Gogh

Although it may seem strange that Van Gogh's precious notebooks appear in the Far East, it is actually very reasonable. After all, this place was originally a Dutch colony, so it is normal for some colonial upper class to bring treasures here from the mainland.

After putting away the Medal of the Garter and Van Gogh's notebook, they checked the safe again. They even opened the safe and searched it carefully. As expected, they found the mezzanine.

Unfortunately, the thing inside this cleverly hidden layer is just an m1922 pistol. The muzzle has the mark of the Royal Netherlands Army, which is not very valuable.

The M1922 pistol is a semi-automatic pistol designed in 1922 by the famous firearms master Browning based on the Browning M1910 pistol for the needs of the Yugoslav military.

This pistol does not have many innovations. It just enlarges the M1910 gun and lengthens the barrel to create the M1922 pistol, which is produced by the Belgian FN company.

Therefore, the internal structure of this gun is basically the same as the M1910, and most of the parts are the same. It just has a longer barrel and grip, and an increased magazine capacity.

More importantly, .32ACP and .380 ACP are not very lethal bullets, so they can only be used as light self-defense weapons for officers. Therefore, they were not as well-known as other pistols in World War II.

However, although the lethality of this bullet is relatively weak, the recoil is also not large. Therefore, the usage rate of this pistol among civilians is relatively high, especially some civilians who have not received much shooting training prefer to use this kind of firearm.

"I guess this gun is most likely a weapon used by the museum owner in emergencies." Liang En said after looking at the well-maintained pistol for a few minutes.

Under normal circumstances, a pistol is not a weapon suitable for war. It is at most a simple weapon for self-defense. At the same time, the people who had access to this safe in the past were most likely only senior members of the museum.

Therefore, the gun hidden here is most likely only used in emergency situations, such as being unfortunately hijacked by someone. Sometimes you can get a chance to turn defeat into victory.

It can also be seen from this that the contents of this safe were very important in the eyes of the museum director at that time, otherwise the other party would not have taken a certain risk to put the firearms in this safe.

Examining the riches took no small amount of time, so by the time they were done, the ship was gone. Indonesia's Linhai heading south.

According to their plan, the ship will go to a small port in northern Australia to temporarily unload the cargo, and then handle the subsequent legal and transportation issues.

Although the cities in this area are very small except for a few places due to climate reasons, and overall it is not lively at all, it is indeed a good place for people who spend a lot of time at sea.

For example, the port where Liang En and the others docked was actually a port built specifically for the export of iron ore, so there was almost nothing except facilities for port workers and sailors, and corresponding residential areas for service personnel.

Fortunately, there is a small airport here that allows Liang En and the others to go to Darwin Port, and then transfer to Singapore and return home. The reason why Liang En did not continue the Southeast Asian trip was because he wanted to try out the new cards he had obtained.

Liang En only got seven cards this time, which was not as numerous as the number of cards he got last time, but the quality of the cards he got this time was obviously much better.

Five of the seven cards have common cards, including one [Legendary Power (N)], two [Detection (N)], one [Repair (N)] and one [Identification (N)] 】.

There is no doubt that these cards are not of high level. In Liang En's eyes, the reason why they are all N cards is probably related to the two cards at the end, because although these two cards are relatively normal in level, they are not low in use value.

[The father of modern art (R), Van Gogh, as an important master in the history of painting, was once described as one of the "two genius artists of the 19th century".

He pursued the art of painting throughout his life and developed his own theory of painting aesthetics, which had a huge influence on the twentieth century painting world.

Van Gogh devoted his life to the exploration of painting. Influenced by the Dutch School of Painting, Impressionism School of Painting and Japanese Ukiyo-e, he made further innovations in subject matter, colors, lines and other aspects, forming a unique painting style.

As the first modern art school in the West, the Post-Impressionist trend set off by a group of artists such as Van Gogh was not satisfied with the rigid and one-sided pursuit of light and color. It emphasized that works should express the artist's emotions and began to experiment with the expression of color and form. sex.

Together with Gauguin and Cezanne, he opened the door to modern art. Under the influence of their creative ideas and artistic concepts, Fauvism, Cubism, Expressionism, Abstractionism, etc. were produced.

It was they who completely changed the face of Western painting, from objective expression to subjective expression, and moved it towards modernity. They are known as the fathers of modern art.

Strengthen card (one-time use). By consuming this card, you can master the artistic abilities of the great artist Van Gogh. Note that mastering this skill will produce an immersive experience, so it is best to find a place to lie down before using it. . 】

"Art skills, and they are actually Van Gogh's art skills!" Liang En was surprised after reading the contents of the card. He naturally knew Van Gogh's artistic level, so he felt that this skill could be used in this book. Somewhat incredible.

But think about it, compared to those famous works, this kind of book is easier to condense the artist's own emotions and information, so it is normal to be able to draw such cards.

Liang En is naturally satisfied with this card, because it makes up for the oil painting part that he is missing in the painting level, and oil painting is also more recognized in the European Cup than other painting methods.

Although he had acquired Mucha's oil painting ability before, Mucha's oil painting skills were very average among well-known painters. Even if he has a huge painting like a Slavic epic, it does not mean that the other party's oil painting skills are very high.

Therefore, this time Van Gogh's artistic skills, especially the skills and talents in oil painting, can completely improve Liang En's painting level, and thus his overall artistic creation level.

At least for Liang En, after using this card, he immediately had the urge to create a painting, and it was the sunflower that was bought by the Japanese in history and then destroyed in the air raids of World War II.

This kind of impulse has never happened before, but the occurrence of this situation can be regarded as what the two people had expected before, because unlike several other painters, Van Gogh is an artist who pays more attention to passion in artistic creation.

In other words, the other party may burst out with artistic inspiration anytime and anywhere, which is why Liang En's mind is constantly bursting with inspiration like fireworks.

Fortunately, unlike Van Gogh who had some illnesses, Liang En was able to preserve this passion for a long time and turn it into inspiration on the canvas when needed.

After adjusting his mood, Liang En quickly looked at another card. Originally, he was not interested in these cards, but after reading them, he unexpectedly discovered that this card was even better than this card related to Van Gogh. More interesting.
